ANNUAL REPORT. 
introduced a discussion on the Oolitic Rocks of the district, and 
also gave an account of work done in correlating some deep borings 
in Kent, which indicated movements during the deposition of the 
rocks and suggested that similar observations might be made on 
the Yorkshire coast. Mr. Drake mentioned the IJnio band in 
the Estuarine Beds near Scalby, and exhibited a fine suite of 
Cornbrash ammonites. Mr. H. Preston gave particulars of a 
boring which had recently been completed at Derwentdale in 
the Vale of Pickering. On Monday an excursion was made to 
Suffield and Hackness to see the interesting sections in the 
CoralHne series, and after visiting the Hutton Bushall delta a call 
was made at the famous Ayton Quarries in the Coral Rag. The 
low tide on Tuesday morning A\as taken advantage of by many 
members to examine the coast sections south of Scarborough. 
Messrs. Stather. Sheppard and H. C. Drake were the leaders of 
the excursions. 
The June Excursion was held at Ingleton. the headquarters 
being the Ingleborough Hotel. Professor Kendall was the leader. 
The main objects of the meeting were (1) To examine the Permian 
Rocks of the Ingleton Coalfield and review the evidence they 
afford of the two stages of movement which resulted in the 
denudation of the Ingleton fault-block. There are good sections 
available in the Permian rocks which include Lower and Upper 
Breccias. In the Lower Breccia pebbles of Spirobis Limestone, 
like those of the highest Coal Measures of the Manchester 
district, have been found, but only one specimen of Carbon- 
iferous Limestone is recorded. In the Upper Breccia on the 
other hand no Spirobis Limestone has been foimd. but 
instead large quantities of Carboniferous Limestone, some 
MiUstone Grit and many fragments of Silurian slate. (2) To 
examine the fine exposure of Visean Limestone in the Meals 
Bank Quarry. Near the top of the S2 sub-zone is a small coal 
seam ^\dth a seat earth with rootlets, resting on an irregular 
surface of limestone. (8) To study the origin of the outlet of 
Kingsdale. The broad flat floor of the Dale with its gorge -like 
outlet suggests its occupation by the \Aaters of a lake. At the 
General Meeting held on June 16th, the President gave an interest- 
ing address on the Coal Measure and Permian Rocks of the neigh- 
bourhood M'ith special reference to the age of the Craven Faults.
